| May 13, 2020 at 15:41 | comment | added | Jason Bassford | I immediately thought of maniac: ": a person characterized by an inordinate or ungovernable enthusiasm for something." But it doesn't have the explicit sense of moving to another thing once the first is finished. However, it does fit the context of the example sentence. | |
